The sound of a small stone striking the pavers brings him about just in time to see a black-clad figure vanish around the corner. “Stop! Thief!” Kornak hollers. Cursing under his breath, he runs after the fleeing shadow. Just another normal night in Cadwallon... Welcome to Cadwallon! Here is a city of vagabonds, deserters, and outlaws of every stripe. Truly, a City of Thieves! The Duke and his brave militia struggle to maintain order, but it is the mighty guilds and wealthy merchants who rule the city. And the most feared of these is the shadowy Guild of Thieves. As a member of the Guild, you must respect their basic rules, lest the city descend into complete chaos! Aarklash is a rough and dangerous world, steeped in magic, and scorched by all-encompassing war, as petty jealous gods advance their agendas with little regard for the human cost. Cadwallon is the last free city here, a shelter for those who want nothing to do with gods and their conflict.

I'm happy to add this to my small collection of art books, even though a few pieces are inexplicably presented is a smaller format than a part of them that receives a full page.

  • The President of Paleo Gaming, Dan Prisco-Buxbaum, Recently Sat Down
    The president of Paleo Gaming, Dan Prisco-Buxbaum, recently sat down to interview Theo Bergquist, one of the founders of the Swedish-based company Riotminds, regarding the widely anticipated release of their tabletop role-playing game Trudvang Chronicles which was recently translated to English (and several other languages) following a massively successful Kickstarter campaign which surpassed its fundraising goal of 300,000 SEK by several orders of magnitude (bringing in nine times the target amount at over 2.7 million SEK). Riotminds describes Trudvang as “an award-winning fantasy roleplaying game based on the mysterious and dark Nordic and Celtic sagas and myths. Enter a world of enchanted forests, trolls, dragons, spirits of nature, heroes and adventures. Trudvang is both grim and dark, epic and yet down to earth, with a melancholic tone of an ancient age when nature was a living creature and magic was wild and strong. Above all, Trudvang is a saga…” Trudvang Chronicles presents a unique setting which has become wildly popular in Sweden, with a highly anticipated English release which was announced in May of 2016. Image © Riotminds 2017 Trudvang was originally designed by Riotminds as a campaign setting for Drachar Och Demoner (“Dragons and Demons”) which was first published by Adventure Games (later rebranded as Target Games) in 1982. A number of new editions of the game (up to the fifth edition) were released by Target Games, but following financial difficulty in the late 1990s, Target Games sold the rights to Drachar Och Demoner to Paradox Entertainment, who subsequently licensed the material to Riotminds.
